Everyone looked at each other and then looked at me weirdly. The Alpha stood in front of me and bowed his head.

"Moon Goddess, forgive us. We weren't aware you were in our presence," Adam said as he kneeled to me.

Suddenly, everyone else kneeled down and bowed to me.

"Your highness," everyone muttered in almost unison.

"No, no, no. I'm not the Moon Goddess," I started and the Alpha's head looked up. "She's my mother. I'm the goddess of the stars, not the moon. Not that I'm actually sure of what that means."

Elliot was the only one who hadn't bowed. Maybe it was due to the mate bond so we were equal. He grabbed my arm and pulled me away from the crowd. He threw open a random door and pushed me into the room.

"What the fuck was that all about, Stella?" Elliot screamed.

"I don't fucking know! My mother is the Goddess and so am I and I have no idea what the fuck is happening to me! I don't know what just happened! I can't control my powers!" I started ranting and my skin was blackening with streaks of red. I knew my hair and eyes would be the same.

Elliot saw what was happening to me and backed away.

"Baby, calm down. I'm sorry for yelling. We can get through this," he tried to reason with me.

"No! We can't! I can't control myself! And don't talk to me like I actually matter to you! I don't! I'm just a random girl you're stuck with for life! You don't know anything about me!" A strong gust of wind started picking up and spiraling around me like a tornado. The papers in the room started getting caught up in my power.

Elliot moved forward and grabbed my shoulders. He had to yell so I could hear him over the wind I had created.

"You're right! I don't know anything about you and you are a girl that I am mates with for the rest of my life! But you mean the world to me! I might not be able to understand right away or even at all, but I am going to be there for you! Whether you like it or not, I will be there for you! I love you, Stella! And I am not leaving you!"

Elliot's powerful words had managed to shock me into being calmer. The wind died down and my skin turned to a bluish black colour. I felt like a was floating through the deepest pits of despair because my emotions were all out of control. Elliot hugged me tightly, reigniting a warmth and light within me, allowing my colour to return.

I broke down crying in his arms as he held me.

"I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have said any of that. I should have been able to control it," I cried into Elliot's shoulder.

Suddenly the door burst open and Jackson ran into the room.

"Stella! Are you ok? The whole building was shaking!" He saw Elliot holding me and I saw the rage in his eyes.

"Did you do this to her! You fucking asshole! Get away from her!" Jackson cane over and ripped me away from Elliot's arms and Ana whined.

"Jackson, stop! He didn't cause it!" I grabbed his arms and turned him around to face me. "I didn't know how to deal with all of the people and Elliot was just trying to get an explanation. He's my mate. I owe him that much."

"He doesn't deserve you," I barely heard Jackson mutter. "Come on. I'm getting you out of here. It was too soon for you to try to do this. They shouldn't have pushed this on you."

"The fuck you are taking her anywhere, Jackson!" Elliot screamed in his face. Jackson whispered and backed down because Elliot was using his alpha powers to control him.

"Stop it, Elliot! I'm going with him and you can't stop me! I need some space. From you! From the pack! From everything! So back the hell off!" I yelled back and Elliot started shrinking back from me.

Jackson slipped and arm around my waist and picked me up bridal style so he could run. Before I could protest, he had run out of the room but not before I heard Elliot growling. After we ran out of the building, I heard sad howling. Elliot's wolf was crying and it broke my heart but I couldn't deal with it right now.

I knew I was being selfish, but it would have been more selfish to stay where I could hurt people if I got emotional again. I couldn't risk it, so I ran. I ran away with Jackson.
